Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s New Novel ‘Dream Count’ to Be Released in March 2025

Celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is set to release her much-anticipated novel Dream Count on March 4th, 2025. This marks her first full-length novel in over a decade, following the global success of Americanah and her widely praised essays, We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele.

Dream Count follows the intertwined lives of four women—Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer living in America; Zikora, a successful lawyer grappling with heartbreak; Omelogor, a bold financial expert in Nigeria; and Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, who faces an unimaginable challenge as she raises her daughter in America. Each character navigates their journey of love, longing, and self-reflection as they confront the choices they’ve made in life.

In this novel, Adichie masterfully explores deep emotional truths, asking whether true happiness is possible or merely fleeting. Through these women’s stories, she touches on themes of motherhood, friendship, and identity in a fast-changing, interconnected world.

Adichie is no stranger to literary acclaim. Her earlier works, such as Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun have earned her numerous awards, including the prestigious Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize. Known for her unflinching ability to address complex topics such as feminism, race, and the African experience, Adichie has cemented herself as one of the most influential voices of contemporary literature.

Her writing has been translated into over 30 languages and featured in prominent publications like The New Yorker and The New York Times. With Dream Count, Adichie is once again poised to deliver a novel filled with rich, relatable characters and deeply human emotions.

Fans around the world eagerly await the release of Dream Count, which promises to be a captivating reflection on love, choices, and the struggles of women across different walks of life.

With its beautifully crafted language and compelling storylines, Dream Count is expected to be thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, just as Adichie’s previous works have been. Readers can expect the novel to delve into the complexities of relationships, the challenge of self-discovery, and the pursuit of true happiness.

As March 2025 approaches, the literary world is excited for what may be one of the year’s standout releases.

Adichie continues to divide her time between the United States and Nigeria, and with Dream Count, she further cements her position as one of the leading voices in global literature.
